When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed including the following:

•

instructions in this manual.

•

Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

•

The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may

cause injuries.

damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.

•

To prevent injury or damage to your person or your property, do not contact any

•

Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

•

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs where provided. Use hot

pads or oven mitts when handling hot surfaces.

•

Do not move an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

•

This popcorn heating will not shut off automatically. To avoid overheating, add

corn and oil before operating.

•

Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

•

Do not use this appliance or the cover on the stovetop, under the broiler, or in

the freezer.

•

Extreme caution must be used when unloading popcorn. Always turn the unit

away from you and over a countertop so that residual hot oil or water running

out will not cause burns.

•

To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric

parts in water or other liquids.

•

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

•

Do not use this appliance outdoors.

•

Never leave appliance unattended when it is plugged into an outlet.

•

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

•

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug

in any way.

•

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is

not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the

detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as

the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,

the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be

arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be

pulled by children or tripped over.

extension cord feels hot.

•

Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during

operation.

Place heating base on a flat, dry surface. The heat-resistant base allows for

safe table use.

Preparing Popcorn

Quarts of Popcorn Amount of Oil Amount of Corn Amount of Butter

2 1 Tablespoon  Cup 1 Tablespoon

4 2 Tablespoons  Cup 2 Tablespoons

6 2 ½ Tablespoons

¾

Cup

3 Tablespoons

**If using a gourmet/premium grade of corn, use less than amount of corn specified above. To

yield 2 quarts of popcorn, use ¼ cup corn; for 4 quarts of popcorn, use ½ cup; for 6 quarts of

popcorn, use  cup. Use the same amounts of oil and butter specified above.

1. Put the proper amount of vegetable oil and corn into the heating base. Do not

add more corn or oil than recommended. Spread the corn evenly over the

popping surface. Do not substitute butter, margarine, shortening, or lard for

vegetable oil as these will burn or smoke excessively. Use oils recommended

for popcorn, as others do not yield as good results.

2. Place the cover on the heating base making sure the handles of the cover fit into

the handles of the heating base. If buttered corn is desired, divide

recommended amount of refrigerated butter into 6 equal-sized pats and place in

a single layer over the holes in the butter well. (If unrefrigerated butter is used,

add to the butter well after the first kernel of corn pops.) Popcorn will be buttered

5

as it pops. Do not place the butter cap on the butter well until after the corn is

popped. If unbuttered corn is desired, do not add butter to the butter well and do

not place the cap onto the butter well until after the corn is popped.

3. Ensure the selection knob is set to “OFF,” plug cord

into a 120 volt, AC outlet only. Turn the selection

knob to “POPCORN,” and the stir rod will begin to

rotate and the base will heat. The stir rod will continue

to stir until the selection knob is turned to “OFF.”

Note: Diagram shows selection knob in the “OFF”

position

; long end of the selection knob will point

down.

To select “POPCORN” or “NUTS,” the long

end of the selection knob will point to the selection.

4. Do not shake the the Kettle Krazy™ during the popping cycle. In 6 to 8 minutes,

depending on quantity of corn being popped, the popping cycle will be

completed. The cycle is done when there is a pause of about 3 seconds

between kernels popping. Turn selection knob to “OFF,” unplug cord from wall

outlet.

5. If the butter is not completely melted in the butter well, use a pastry brush to

push any remaining butter through the holes.

6. Snap the butter cap securely onto the butter well. This cap must be on the

cover before the Kettle Krazy™ is inverted. Make sure the handles of the cover

are placed into the handles of heating base. Grasp the handles firmly and turn

the Kettle Krazy™ upside down, turning it away from you. Lift the heating base

away from the cover, being careful of escaping steam.

7. Popcorn is now ready for serving. Sprinkle the popcorn with salt if desired.

Popping Additional Batches of Popcorn - If you plan to pop more corn

immediately, transfer popcorn from the cover to another serving bowl. Let the base

cool, then follow steps 1 through 6 above.

Preparing Roasted Nuts

1. Add ingredients to the Kettle Krazy™. Add an even layer of nuts to the bottom,

then dry glaze. Add liquid last. Do not roast more than 1 cup of nuts at a time.

2. Ensure the selection knob is set to “OFF,” plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC

outlet only. Turn the selection knob to “NUTS,” and the stir rod will begin to

rotate and the base will heat. Note: The stir rod will continue to stir until the

selection knob is turned to “OFF.”

3. Do not cover or shake the Kettle Krazy™ during the roasting cycle. In 6 to 8

minutes, depending on the quantity of nuts being roasted, the roasting cycle will

be completed. Turn the selection knob to “OFF,” unplug the cord from the wall

outlet.

4. Using a non-metallic spoon, scoop the nuts out of the base and transfer to a

baking sheet covered in parchment or waxed paper and let cool completely

before eating.

Roasting Additional Batches of Nuts - If you plan to roast more nuts immediately,

let the base cool, then follow steps 1 through 4 above. You may need to clean the

base before roasting additional batches of nuts. Refer to “Cleaning your Kettle

Krazy™” section.

Clean your Kettle Krazy™ After Every Use - Your Kettle Krazy™ should be

cleaned after each use. Always allow heating base to cool before cleaning.

Cleaning the Cover - Wash the cover and butter cap in warm, soapy water with a

dishcloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not use scouring pad or abrasive

powder on the cover as these could cause scratching.

Cleaning the Stir Rod - Remove the stir rod from the heating base by unscrewing

the securing knob counter-clockwise. Wash the rod and securing knob with warm,

soapy water using a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Replace the stir

rod after cleaning the base, making sure it fits over the square peg on the hub.

Secure with securing knob.

Cleaning the Base - Clean the non-stick surface of the base with a damp, soapy

dishcloth, sponge or nylon-scouring pad. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and

dry. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders on non-stick finish as scratching

may occur. After roasting nuts, while the base is still warm, add warm water to soak

the sugar coating from the Kettle Krazy™, wait until it is cool and then dump out the

water. Wipe the surface with a warm, soapy dishcloth, then wipe with a damp cloth

and dry thoroughly.

After consistent use, the non-stick finish may discolor. To remove discoloration, use

a soft cloth saturated with lemon juice or vinegar and rub over finish. Then wipe the

finish with a damp cloth and dry.

DO NOT PLACE COVER, BUTTER CAP, STIR ROD, OR HEATING BASE IN AN

AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
